Just finished seeing Interstellar. As a Sci-fi, it was quite good. Not the most original sci-fi type setting, but good. As a character drama, it was also quite good. Interesting driving dynamic complicated by the sci-fi considerations. As a hard-science setting, it was absolutely horrible, though that's to be expected from a movie called "interstellar" and not featuring unmanned probes going to Proxima Centuri, but that can be forgiven as that's about as exciting as watching bacterial cultures develop in a can of spam.

So, just checking...

Do you agree with me on the idea that, in the end, the most sympathetic protagonists in the movie are the two robots?

[Frost]

Absolutely. Especially considering their hunky voices.

Been playing DA:I.
In one of my forts Sargent asks recruits this:
-What is the chief weapons of Inquisition?

After that...Monthy Pyton continues. Now I just HAVE to find Giant Killer Nug.

There's a War Nug mount.

How can I get it?!

Edit:
Found it. How to.

The only reason I want a 360 is so that I can play The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, which is what the Incredible Hulk tried to be and fell rather flat...

Well...maybe Star Wars: The Force Unleashed/II as well...and the [Prototype] series, which plays an awful lot like Ultimate Destruction, straight up to using Devastators to completely wreck a guy's day

Nothing beats running up the side of a building and elbow-dropping 50 stories to ruin some poor shmuck's day

Why would you protest catholicism or the catholic church or the pope in that manner?

Also, read the new Ava's Demon update. SWEET FUCKING JESUS

[Frost]

Well, that shit just got about eight times as real as I was expecting.

I'm sure she's fine, though.

I wish Ava's demon worked on my browser. I get two pages in then it breaks.

Huh, what browser? And surely you have another installed as an alternative.

[Guest]

Nope. I don't use my computer often at all honestly I just load up my xbox. It's browser works for most things but for some reason it hates Ava's demon. Like I said it gets to page two craps out and then I can't continue anymore, I can hit the last page button and get to the last page but that plus the two first pages don't make for the most complete story.

Ah, I see.  The website for Ava's Demon seems to be set up for an easy one-click-next-page or arrow keys navigation. All the pages seem to be loaded by one .php file and when you click next (or click the curent panel or hit an arrow key) it simply loads the next picture and not the entire page, with only videos and animated panels being their own pages. This setup works wonders on full browsers, but apparently your xbox must hate it for whatever reason. My theory is that it only allocates space for the original static webpage and it doesn't clear out the old picture because it expects a static webpage when instead the site is a stream of pictures...or something. Try mobile, or break out your computer if you're motivated enough.

@Ava's Demon
Wow, a thousand-odd pages sure do fly by.

@Ava's Demon

Well, it's only 1000+ panels, most regular comics have more, but yes Ava's Demon flies by because of that.

Quite quite, yes. Damn good use of the medium, I think. This'd be one of those comics I'd refer people to when they want to see a comic that's inherently web-based. Not even for the films, but just for that single-panel layout. Works like an elegant flipbook, almost.

To say some more on Blue Planet...
BP: Age of Aquarius is kinda rough around the edges, but still enhoyable.
BP: War in Heaven, on the other hand, is completely sublime.

-Most missions are a lot more technically complex and generally impressive than in the retail FS2.
-Awesome new ships of all sizes. You really can't tell from the models that they're for a 1999 game.
-Actual characters. And character development. In Freespace. Even without voicing (although they're working on this).
-To go with the previous point, there's the really great between-mission story fragments.
-Sometimes the story decides to really unsettle you. And it does. There's one such moment in WiH Release 1, but there's more in 2. Writers from Battlestar Galactica really should take notes about how to combine mystical elements with space opera.

[Katarn]

Ah, Freespace. So much time wasted spent in joy of playing that game. I'm looking forward to BP.

Also, can someone tell me what song is playing or give me part of the lyrics, I'll find it. I was listening it for ~ hour, but couldn't get all lyrics correct.

Gosh, I couldn't  stop thinking about the latest Ava's Demon update last night and have been listening to that song on repeat a bunch today. I'm actually shaking a little, I'm  so... it's something like elation. Captivation? Something. My breath feels like it has a hitch in it.
When I got home I've got to make an account on that forum and thank the artist for such a powerful scene.

I love that comic :D

Swick, sometimes you scare me.

Nah, he's scary, but fun!

Every day, it gets harder to tell if they've stopped doing satire and become an actual news site.

[Vinylshadow]

Surprise! Turns out it was real all along

...Gotta wonder though: Would removing negative voices from office actually improve the way the Government is run?

Depends on what they were speaking out against, I think

[Frost]

...Gotta wonder though: Would removing negative voices from office actually improve the way the Government is run?

Are you familiar with the concept of totalitarianism? Removing dissent leaves a sycophant-encouraged reckless idiot in charge at best and an autocrat at worst. Due process and checks-and-balances don't stop because you support what's being checked. That's the entire purpose of why they exist, in fact.

I'm honestly impressed at how you keep managing to say stuff so flatly stupid it can kill even the silliest, most sarcastic conversations.

I've heard the term, can't say I like the idea.

One person in charge, who thinks of the people when they make laws and I'd be a lot happier with how this country is run.

[Frost]

The current structure of the government is based on the idea that no one can be wholly trusted with power. And every single day, that idea is proven right.

[Vinylshadow]

Wow, I do seem to channel Star Wars beliefs a lot, don't I?
I'm slow to anger, easily amused, think there only needs to be one person in charge, don't care what happens around me...

And I do love me a black robe...
